national defense university, having relationships both in the intelligence and military side with our pentagon people. there are deep human relationships really at stake so general assisi is well known to americans, and i think that he has made a play from the moment that they issued the 48-hour warning to morsi. in my view they made a decision to go to war with the muslim brotherhood. i am a big fan of jonathan allen where as i am a realist and worked with richard nixon many years ago. i with argue the one point that there are many realists who say it is strategically consequential to the united states if the muslim brotherhood and its young members decide not to pursue democratic style dwrups f groups for their aspirations. if they go back underground and take a violence track we're looking at something that has consequences not only in egypt but through the entire middle east/north africa region and it will keep us tied up in a tumultuous situation and threatening israel, threatening u.s. interests, for quite a long time. so i urge those people who think this is just about democracy and not

according to the pentagon's own estimates, sexual assault was up more than 35% last year from the year before. here's what's more disturbing about those numbers. of an estimated 26,000 people who experience unwanted sexual contact in the military, only about 3,000 were actually reported. and of those, only 238, 238 resulted in convictions. so that's 238 convictions out of an estimated 26,000 estimated cases. those numbers obviously are a huge problem. and part of that huge problem is this. right now, the reporting and prosecuting of those 26,000 cases is done inside the military chain of command. senior officers with no legal training, not the police, your boss essentially gets to decide whether court martial charges should be brought against the person that sexually assaulted you and the commanding officer gets to pick the jury pool and can even throw out a guilty finding after a verdict is rendered. which explains only 3,000 out of 26,000 are reported. which brings us back to the senate armed services committee and its seven women. one of them, senator kirsten gillibrand of new york

other hand, you have israel and powerful gulf allies and many within the administration and at the pentagon saying don't suspend aid because as slim at, it's the only leverage we have and it will only cause greater problems down the road in you yank it than if you keep it going. >> michael, it is important to point out the majority of the u.s. goes for military purposes and a smaller portion for economic aid. is there any indication coming from the administration that they are giving any serious consideration now to pulling this money? >> well, i think the indication you're seeing now is what you would expect and which i think is typical in politics where there are these kind of half steps and half measures that are coming out into the press. maybe we would not send the economic aid, which is a very small proportion. you said most of it is military. i think i haven't done the math but it has to be something like 95%. they are talking about delaying some certain weapon systems. so, you know, this is -- this is sort of what you might call smart politics which is, you know, symbiymbolically to
